Natural Spring Makeup Look

Hey Peeps,

I was sorting out all my makeup the other day and though it would be fun to show you what makeup I will be wearing this spring along with one of my favourite spring nail polishes i will probably be wearing to death this season. In my mind spring makeup should be very natural, simple and dewy.Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid FoundationI have talked about this foundation before and done a separate review on it as well. This foundation is really light coverage and is perfect for Spring when you want to wear a foundation but not a really heavy one like in winter. The finish of this foundation is very natural and the way I like to describe the finish is that you can still 'see' you skin but it looks likes flawless skin.Boi-ing Benefit ConcealerBenefits concealers have a high reputation and I really like this one as it has a really high coverage but doesn't look cakey whatsoever. I tend to only really use this in spots or blemishes as I find it works best there. Sometimes I will use it under my eyes. If I do then I apply a tiny bit of product onto my ring finger and then pat gently.Sleek Blush in Rose GoldAll over the beauty world this is a highly talked about blusher, in fact I think it might be the most talked about sleek blusher. In the winter I didn't really wear this as I found it was too much for the dark days of winter. Now that the sunshine is finally here I love wearing this blusher. It is the most beautiful shade and I feel radiant and glowing when I wear this. Also I would just like to add (off course I can add something its my blog, silly me!)'Foxy' and 'Naked 2' from the Naked Basics PaletteNearly everyday now I reach for my Naked Basics palette and love it very much. The shades I use most for a really natural look are foxy and Naked 2. These are both matte shades as on an everyday basis I prefer matte shades.Benefit They're Real MascaraThis is about the only mascara that I swear by, I use this everyday without a doubt. Last year when the travel size was in the Elle magazine I bought about 6 magazines because I love this mascara so much. It gives me really long, full, pretty lashes and I don't get the same effect with any other mascara.MUA Lipstick in the shade 16I bought this lipstick a few months ago as i really wanted to try a peachy Orange colour but I didn't want to buy an expensive lipstick and then not like the colour. MUA lipsticks are only a pound or something ridiculous, but the pigmentation is great. However it doesn't last long which you would expect but I love the colour and may buy a more expensive lipstick in this shade. For Spring I think this colour is great and I can see myself wearing this colour a lot over the coming weeks. Real Techniques Buffing BrushI couldn't live without this brush. I use this to blend in my foundation until I am happy it is fully blended, i use blend in any concealer needed and I usually use this same brush for powder as I don't like fussing with lots of different brushes when I am in a rush.Real Techniques Contour BrushI know this is called the contour brush but I find it is the perfect size for my blush so I use it for that. There are no rules after all. I don't really have much else to say except it is the perfect blush brush.Real Techniques Shadow BrushThis is my most recent Real techniques brush. I use this as a multi purpose brush as the brushes are quite short and dense. This makes it good for apply shadow but also bending it out into the crease.
